Many gardeners consider the cabbage as the king of garden vegetables. Certain it is there are few that are more widely cultivated and more generally liked, especially by those who daily per form active outdoor labor. As a food it is well suited to restoring and building up the muscular tissue, but for those who live within doors—following a sen dentary occupation, cabbage are rather too gross, and tax the disgestive organs too severely. When eaten raw as cold glaw, they are often endured by the stom ach when the cooked dish would prove almost indigestible. This is said to be due to the fact that the raw cabbage con tains a small quantity of a peculiar acid which is very timilar to one of the diges tive fluids of the stomach. It is common with writers to ignore the claims, of the common Georgia col lard, and to insist that white cabbage heads can as easily be produced for fall and winter use as collards, and that they (the white head cabbage) are more whole some. So far as the superiority of the ordinary cabbage to the collard in sum mer time is concerned, we are quite of the same opinion. But for use after the frost has fallen on them we think the collard superior and for more easily raised. In fact we have found it to hardly pay for the trouble to attempt to grow the ordinary hard cabbage for win • ter use. They are more uncertain than turnips. There is a variety called the Buncombe cabbage which is intermediate in habit ot growth between the usual summer varieties and the old blue stem, which we advise our friends to try. The seed of the Buncombe should be sown in March or April or even later ts the plants are shaded from the sun while young. They will make very large and more or less firm heads late in fall and with little protection nay be kept throughout the winter. COLLABDS FOR STOCK. We do not now recall an experiment in growing something out of the usual routine for stock feed what gave us more satisfaction than cultivating collards for stock, especially for hogs. They have several points of excellence which render them very convenient. They are early raised, convenient to handle, very nut ritious, enormously productive, very wholesome, always ready. We are strongly of opinion that hogs fed on the leaves regularly will be exempt from fatal diseases—such as cholera. The ground for collards should be rich —it cannot be too rich—and thoroughly and deeply broken up. For stock pur poses, the plants should be started early in the spring, and set out or thinned to a stand as soon as well established. The plan we tried was to leave a plant every foot in the row —in three feet rows. By the time they began to touch each oiheu iu the rows, every third plant led out as needed and fed tojO®gS| daily.

COTTON—FREE LABOR—FERII9 IZERS. ’ The indications at present point to the consumption of not less than one hund red and forty thousand tons of commer cial fertilizers—twenty thousand tons more than were inspected last year— in Georgia! Already (March 8), we learn, nearly one hundred and fifteen thousand tons have teen inspected. The total above given will require over one sixth of the total cotton crop of Georgia to pay for it. The probable average annual in crease of the crop by the use of commer cial fertilizers is not less than two bales of cotton for each ton used. What an enormous growth in the use of fertilizers in the past fifteen years ! With a cer tain class of writers who are interested in presenting comparative views of the results of given periods of slave and free labor which are disparaging to the for mer, it has been popular to attribute the great increase in the cotton crop of the South to the changed labor system, and the improvements in culture and varieties as incidents to the change. In our humble opinion nothing could be farther from the truth. The increased use of fertilizers has not only increased the product in the original cotton belt, but it has widened that belt towards the North not less than fifty miles. Besides this the great extension of the cotton area in Texas and Arkansas, due to in crease in population, has added probably nearly a million bales to the crop. These causes, with others of less importance but not a bit more creditable to free negro labor, are amply sufficient to account for the increase. We have not the statistics of the last thirty or forty vears of cotton production at hand, but a careful examination of them—with due allowance for the causes of increased production which are no way dependent upon free labor—will justify the opinion that the present pro duction would have been much greater than it is if slavery had been undis- aie hopeful indications of future but slowly approaching prosperity, whit* may eventually reach a point beyond what we would have attained had slav ery continued, but this is extremely doubtful in view of the presence of the negro with us. Slavery may have been a curse, in some sense, but its abolition has not yet been fruitful of material bles sings to the South. Farmers should know, if they do not. that one acre well prepared, enriched and cultivated, will produce as much as three acres as ordinarily worked. The labor upon the one acre will be but little more than required for the three. As a rule we cultivate too much land and are not able to bestow upon it the careful labor that we should. Our aim should be to cultivate only so much land as we can manage thoroughly. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1881. SMALL NOTES. The cheapest meat for the farmer is mutton. It may safely be said to cost nothing, as the fleece from a sheep of good breed will amply pay for its keep ing. Then for additional profit, there is a lamb or two, the pelt of the animal if killed at home, the excellent manure from its droppings and the riddance of the pasture from weeds, to which weeds are destructive foes. W ith the exception of poult-y, mutton is also the most con venient meat for the farmer. A sheep is easily killed and dressed by a single hand in an hour, and in the warmest weather it can be readily disposed of be fore it spoils. Science and experience both declare it the healthiest kind of meat. A green crop, when plowed under, heats, ferment and decays. The nitro gen which it contains is, by this process set free, but not to return to its natural state as a part of the air. While in the act of liberation, or, as chemis's call it, in its nascent state, it unites with other substances in the soil, and is held in that union until it is taken up by the growing crops. And not only this, for nitrogen, when in process of liberation, we are told, possesses the power of so acting upon whatever insoluble plant food there is already in the soil, as to change its chemical condition and thereby renders it available. Napoleon the First said that agriculture was the body and soul of the Egtpire, and in the height of his glory he gave the subject attention and encouragement, and established in France a department of agriculture. From the start given to this great art, the nursing mother of all Srts, France, has become the richest and one of the most powerful and prosperous among the people of the earth ; thirty nine out of every forty of her popula tion, according to Sir Robert Peel, do not spend their income, but lay some thing by. COLIC IN HORSES. The following remedy never fails to give relief in this disease, if promptly administered and in good time. It is one of the secrets of the profession. Sul phuric esther one pint; aromatic spirits of ammonia one pint; sweet spirits of nitre two pints; opium one-fourth pound; camphor one fourth pound. Mix. Let it stand fourteen days before using. Dose —one ounce (or less, according to the size of the horse) every thirty minutes until relief is afforded. Crib biting is often a habit, but may be caused by a disease. Indigestion oc casions a constant irritation and uneasi ness, which may impel the horse to take hold with the teeth and stretch the neck as a means of relief. From this grows the habit of crib-biting and wind-suck ing which ceases when the cause is re moved. As a remedy, give the horse iu his feed, for a few weeks, one drachm of copperas and half an ounce ot ground ginger, and fed him upon cut feed, with crushed or ground gram, and an ounce of salt in each feed. Ordinary farmers co along VM®after yeax, making udstakes t <><> Wigeuce ne" it is round cannot thrive on ignorance wniwßßther callings are demanding higher intellec tual culture. Buy your corn, pork, flour, hay, work stock and raise only cotton. This is the easiest method to bring your family to the door of the county poor-house. The farm is the last place in the world where slovehness pays. AN EVIL IN THE LAND. The wealth of the South depends, for its increase, mainly, upon the products other soil. Our manufacturing enterprises are small, our mining inconsiderable, and traf fic with other countries based almost en tirely upon soil products and stecks which may be appropriately classed under this head. With this statement of facts before us, it is easily determined that the wealth of this section will be enhanced or dimin ished as we increase or diminish its agri cultural productions. By scientific agri culture we have, since the war, accomplish ed good results, and the continued prosecu tion of improved methods of culture will do much byway of protecting the South against the one greal evil to which our title head refers. But, true policy dictates not so much the restraining, as the removal of this evil altogether, that our fair land may achieve for its people the greatest good designed by her extraordinarily lib eral endowments. As the evil is single it does seem that the prudent, sensible, people might go to work and banish it for ever. It is not found in the lack of en terprise, industry or practical good sense of those who cultivate the soil, but con sists alone, in the fact that the villages, towns and cities are draining the country, annually, of the bane, muse’eand brains which should be applied to production, and as a consequence, to the increased wealth and prosperity of the South. This continual depletion of the productive fqrces of the Southern States, challenges the wisdom of the country for its eradication. The meth ods by which this must be accomplished have, as yet, been unproclaimed and cer tainly are inoperative. Every year our young men are casting aside the imple ments of agriculture and joining the crowd ed ranks of the non-producing armies ot muicipalities, leaving the little boys and the old men to handle the hoe and guide the plow. An idea prevails with the ma jority of young men that there is more fdeasure and more respectability in town ife and labor, than in life and labor on the country homestead, and the cry is, “they cornel they come!” crowding the villages, towns and cities and leaving their places vacant and non-productive. This state of things can only be chang ed by properly informing the young men of the country in regard to the great evil they are fostering, ana placing before them, at home, rational means of enjoyment which shall compare favorably with even the utopian dreams that allure them to the haunts of the munic : palities. In every neighborhood special and sensible efforts should be devoted to social organizations, designed to furnish enjoyments, intellect ual and otherwise, to tbe young people. This would involve, necessarily, the pro vision of suitable and ample libraries of fact, science, and fiction. When tbe at tractions of the country are made to equal, or excel those which the imagination paints as tbe results of .city living, and when, at the same time, it is made appa rent to the young men, that the profits of country life are greater than those result ing from the meagre rewards of labor in city or town, the natural result will be the overthrow of this one great evil which is suppressing the wealth of the South. The remedy for this is not subject to the pow er of any one person—however earnest bis desire or fruitful in design—but must, if realized, come from the cooperation of the head-men of commuities who understand the disease and its remedies, and desire its eradication. The work of reform must have a beginning if it ever succeeds. We enquire, with great earnestness, therefore, “In what community will it be inaugu rated ?” The work of expelling this evil, entirely, from the South, must he achieved in de tail—each neighborhood, or community working for itself, though not, necessarily, without sympathy or cooperation with other communities. As man is a social being, fond of the pleasures and excite ments which result from densely popula ted districts, the country must place her self in favorable competition with the municipal communities if the trouble is removed. In providing the remedy the leaders of reform should keep in view, as most important, tbe large demands of our social nature, and endeavor to supply its requirements. This can be easily accom plished if the work is undertaken in earn est by men and women who have the mat ter at heart. There are hundreds of meth ods of social enjoyment which may be brought into use. It does not suit the lim its of this article to suggest these in detail, yet with the recollection of our own boy hood in the country, fresh in memory, and rekindling our ‘‘ancient" love, we will be pardoned for briefly referring to the social Sarties within doors, the fishing, hunting, lay-day, and many other sports which gave zest to life and made every spot of our country haunts sacred to memory. It was chiefly those gatherings in which the sexes were blended socially, that had the greatest attraction, and this will be true in any age or country. We would, there fore, impress upon the minds of those who may undertake this reform, the absolute necessity of woman’s cooperation both in designing and executing the methods to be employed. When our young men stay in the coun try and are helpers in the work of cultiva ting the soil of the South, then, and not until then, will we be on the highway to wealth and general prosperity.
